Pros

+ For some who has a passion for cars, this is like being a kid locked in a candy store + Opportunity to grow within the company is great if you can produce + Move to another state? Hertz allows you to move with them so you don't have to hunt for another job and go throug the application/interviewing process + They promote from within, so you dont have to fear any outside applicants taking your promotion from you. + Meet with many different peole from working at hotels, private airports, dealerships, bodyshops etc. + Stegthen your experience utilizing Six Sigma training, inside/outside sales model and fleet management

Cons

- Hours worked can be a drag - For some HLE locations, we're open 7 days a week so staffing is always an issue - For a multi-billion dollar company, more efforts should be looked into remodeling some HLE locations - Much pressure is placed on inside sales - Many managers feel that their is a "glass ceiling" once you reach a BM position as there is a very low chance of moving to the next level without relocating. - Hertz seems to have a :"flavor of the week" whether its # of sales calls, hours worked, sales penetration, # of new accounts etc.

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
